KVM: arm/arm64: Document KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST_REGION
We introduce a new KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST_REGION attribute in
KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_ADDR group. It allows userspace to provide the
base address and size of a redistributor region
Compared to KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST, this new attribute allows
to declare several separate redistributor regions.
So the whole redist space does not need to be contiguous anymore.
